EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF ENERGY ABSORPTION PROPERTIES OF GRANULAR MATERIALS UNDER LOW FREQUENCY VIBRATIONS

2004Journal ArticleInternational Journal of Modern Physics B 18, pp. 27082712

Abstract

The low frequency vibration energy absorption properties of granular materials have been investigated on an Invert Torsion Pendulum (ITP). The energy absorption rate of granular material changes nonlinearly with amplitude under low frequency vibration. The frequency of ITP system increases a little with granular materials in the holding cup. The vibration frequency of ITP system does not change with time.
